OT: Tool to Split Scenes

Jonathan Neal wrote on 2/13/2009, 2:17 PM

I recorded some video, multiple scenes, that hdv split can't split. Vegas doesn't recognize the clip changes either. Is there any other way to automatically or semi-automatically split these clips?

I believe part of the reason has to do with the timecode being set not to change.

Are you talking about "scene detection" ? - Meaning that the software doing the capture divides the scenes by takes or camera starts and stops. THere is software that takes long continuous clips and does this with various levels of success. Google "scene detection" ..

Or is there such a thing as an "event" in Vegas that cannot be split? Didn't know there was.

I've had to do that kind of thing manually all because the clock on the camera was not "on."

Even if the clock is wrong is stil better than nothing.

I believe Scenalyzer can do scene detection, but I am not very familiar with this aspect of the software.

You might need to start warming up your keyboard's letter "s." :(

Scenalyzer can do scene detection on already captured footage but it's for SD only and Jonathan's footage is HDV :-(

I'll try Scenalyzer since my clips are in standard def. I think HDVSplit can split standard def video too, normally.
